Bring back the other #34

[Jim Hill]

I would trade this years #1 for Carlisle.  I think he does more with who is
on this team now then Doc can do with a top 3 pick added to it.

As far a AK 47 trade, I wouldn't trade Perk except in a low post center
package.  He may never be Shaq, but neither will most anyone else.  Perk
will get better year after year and most likely have a good career in this
league at a good value to his team.

>Espn.com is reporting that the Pacers have fired Rick Carlisle.

I hope the Cs can bring him back to Boston.  Kudos to whomever made the
Bill Fitch-KC Jones in reverse analogy.  While I am praying for Oden (with
Durant as a superb consolation prize), praying even harder for the general
health of the players the Cs already have, and wouldn't mind adding
Kirilenko (Ratliff or Szczerbiak and Gomes or Green would work), I think
this team's biggest need is a coach who can instill some strategic and
tactical discipline.  Carlisle may or may not be a championship coach, but
he's a significant upgrade over Doc.
